this is bbc news — these are the latest headlines in the uk and around the world. negotiators at the cop26 climate conference have published a draft agreement after talks in glasgow continued through the night. countries are urged to phase out coal and inefficient fossilfuel subsidies — and show plans to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by 2022. i'm luxmy gopal in london. the other headlines this morning. hundreds of migrants remain trapped along the border between belarus and poland, caught up in the middle of a political stand—off. and — the conservatorship that's controlled britney spears�* life for 13 years has been brought

to an end. welcome to glasgow and the cop26 negotiations, which are now in overtime, as negotiators from nearly 200 countries try to strike a deal on tackling climate change. a new draft agreement has been published in the last hour. let's bring you some of the main points. most crucially, the reference to phasing out inefficient fossile fuel subsidies is still in the agreement. even after some countries reportedly wanted to remove it. the deal also asks all countries to upgrade their climate pledges next year and rich countries are asked to double their climate adaptation finance by 2025 from 2019 levels.

joining me now is our science and environment correspondent, victoria gill. so victor area, what are if had lines in this so victor area, what are if had lines in thi— so victor area, what are if had lines in thi ~ ., , ., . lines in this what we were searching this document _ lines in this what we were searching this document for, _ lines in this what we were searching this document for, when _ lines in this what we were searching this document for, when we - lines in this what we were searching this document for, when we finely . this document for, when we finely saw it delayed, the delayed post deadline dropping has been a continuing theme of this event, but what we o looking for is the mention of fossil fuel what we o looking for is the mention of fossilfuel subsidies what we o looking for is the mention of fossil fuel subsidies and the mention of phasing out coal, it was still there. in the first draft the phase out of coal was the aim and is subsidies forfossilfuel, that phase out of coal was the aim and is subsidies for fossil fuel, that was soft onned when the addition of inefficient fossil fuels. soft onned when the addition of inefficient fossilfuels. there has been criticising of that. it gives you a sense of the nuance, the complicated process and signing it off. the addition of one word can cause disagreement. so that remains, thatis cause disagreement. so that remains, that is historic this is the first

time a cop document has, one of these un official documents, not signed off yet, a draft, has had that phrase fossil fuels, that was never mentioned in the paris agreement. never mentioned in the paris agreement-— never mentioned in the paris aareement. �* , ., ., agreement. and they are important because they _ agreement. and they are important because they are _ agreement. and they are important because they are the _ agreement. and they are important because they are the biggest - because they are the biggest polluters, the biggest cause of global warming. this polluters, the biggest cause of global warming.— polluters, the biggest cause of global warming. this is it. t is the stuff of greenhouse _ global warming. this is it. t is the stuff of greenhouse gas _ global warming. this is it. t is thel stuff of greenhouse gas emissions, this is naming the source for the first time, because what, when we talk about what we have been talking about, which is slashing carbon emission, by 2030, what we are talking about is moving away from burning those fossil fuels because thatis burning those fossil fuels because that is the source of it and moving to the greener renewable energies and that is a really big shift for countries that are still dependent very much on coal, and their economies are really anchored in fossil fuels, economies are really anchored in fossilfuels, so economies are really anchored in fossil fuels, so you would expect push back on that. so fossil fuels, so you would expect push back on that.— fossil fuels, so you would expect push back on that. so we have words in a draft agreement _ push back on that. so we have words in a draft agreement of— push back on that. so we have words in a draft agreement of course, - push back on that. so we have words in a draft agreement of course, we . in a draft agreement of course, we want to see action, as well, all the delegates want to see action and we will monitor closely to see what level of accountability is built

into the process in this draft agreement is this enough to keep us on track, to keep global warming capped at 1.5 degrees and explain, remind viewer why that is important? so 1.57 degrees, we are living in a world that is 1.1 degrees celsius warmer than post industrial times, and that is already causing some of the impacts of climate change that we see in the new, we see droughts, flooding, heatwaves, this 1.51 what they a degree, if we can limit to 1.5 this they a degree, if we can limit to 1.5this human they a degree, if we can limit to 1.5 this human caused planetary warming we can fend off the most dangerous impax of climate change. we don't stop the impacts of climate change, it is an ongoing process, the physics of that is happening, but it is happening at a pace that we are being our political process, is outpacing, so we need to catch up, this process at cop needs to catch up. up, this process at cop needs to

catch u -. �* ., up, this process at cop needs to catch u -. �* . ., up, this process at cop needs to catch u. �* . ., catch up. and we have had some reaction from _ catch up. and we have had some reaction from oxfam, _ catch up. and we have had some reaction from oxfam, saying - catch up. and we have had some| reaction from oxfam, saying here catch up. and we have had some . reaction from oxfam, saying here in reaction from 0xfam, saying here in glasgow the world's poorest countries are in danger of being lost from view. we need the strongest possible outcome, so, not very happy with they are seeling and this ties into the idea of climate justice, now this is the wealthy countries who have caused most of the pollution versus poorer countries who often are suffering the worst effects having done little to contribute to it, so what is there in this document about climate justice, delivering that? think there in this document about climate justice, delivering that?— justice, delivering that? think it is double edged _ justice, delivering that? think it is double edged on _ justice, delivering that? think it is double edged on that - justice, delivering that? think it is double edged on that point, l is double edged on that point, because i think maybe we forget that this issue, this problem is historic, right, that carbon emissions stay in the atmosphere for centuries, so the effect is ongoing what we started, really in the industrial revolution we are feeling the impacts of that now. this, there is two issues there, helping economies to adapt and mitigate, to move into this cleaner technology, to sift their economies but there is

a compensation mechanism which is really being brought into the forefor the first time at this cop, so that is the loss and damage and destruction caused on the poorest countries that have done the least to cause it there is real wrangling about that. this compensation fund, there has not been a big step forward in putting that process in players it has been kicked down the road so the strengthening of language on adaptation, on developed countries, investing to push those developing countries into cleaner economies can and to protect themselves against what is already a warmer climate, but this compensation fund is still a really thorny issue. compensation fund is still a really thorny issue-— thorny issue. 0k, victoria, thank ou ve thorny issue. 0k, victoria, thank you very much — thorny issue. 0k, victoria, thank you very much for _ thorny issue. 0k, victoria, thank you very much for that _ thorny issue. 0k, victoria, thank you very much for that and - thorny issue. 0k, victoria, thank you very much for that and all. thorny issue. 0k, victoria, thank| you very much for that and all the delegates from the almost 200 countries will be poring through this latest version of the draft agreement and we expect to hear from delegates who will be in the conference hall later as they were yesterday, and that will give us a

real sense, yesterday, and that will give us a realsense, i yesterday, and that will give us a real sense, i think, yesterday, and that will give us a realsense, ithink, of yesterday, and that will give us a real sense, i think, of the direction of travel in this, about how close we might be to actually bringing down the gavelathon process, in other words the delegates signing off that draft agreement. we will be getting reaction in a couple of minutes from the worldwide fund for nature to this latest draft but first... the worldwide fund for nature to this latest draft but first... chris stark is the chief executive of the committee on climate change — a body that holds the uk government to account on its actions on climate change. he gave his reaction to the draft agreement. i have to say i am feeling quite good about the way it has been brought together. some of the key language is still in there and it is really important to say this, it might sound odd for those people who are not wasp watching copse as i might do, but language about fossil fuel financing, language about phasing out coal, is still in there, and the language on returning to the table, to make those 2030 targets stronger next year is still in

there, so this is motoring towards, actually really strong piece of text at the end. it's a process, sadly we can't magic things that countries weren't ready to make. they i think glasgow is motoring to some sort of positive conclusion. is there enough accountability in it? yourjob at the committee —— committee is about holding the uk government to account, but is there enough accountability in all of this and transparency s and way of monitoring what countries are doing, are they, are they keeping up, are they matching the words, the fine words we heard at the beginning of this conference? you words we heard at the beginning of this conference?— this conference? you are the right to raise the _ this conference? you are the right to raise the issue _ this conference? you are the right to raise the issue of— this conference? you are the right to raise the issue of accountability and transparency, i don't think there is enough in this. this is one of the key issues we are discussing, the transparency, how they are measured. sadly there isn't a global body with the same kind of teeth as

my organisation here in the uk, we need the un process to deliver that accountability. that accountability. i'm nowjoined by katie white, executive director of advocacy and campaigns at the wwf. good to have row back. i spoke to you at the beginning of cop. it is useful to compare what your thoughts were then, with where we are now. so, you, like everyone else, you are getting to grips with the headlines of this latest draft agreement. how much mention of nature is there in it, first of all? we much mention of nature is there in it, first of all?— it, first of all? we are very pleased — it, first of all? we are very pleased with _ it, first of all? we are very pleased with the _ it, first of all? we are very pleased with the mention l it, first of all? we are very l pleased with the mention of it, first of all? we are very - pleased with the mention of nature, there is mornay char, mentions in there is mornay char, mentions in the text than there has been before, thatis the text than there has been before, that is because we won't meet that the 1.5 degree target without tackling the nature crisis, they are two sides of the same coin, so we have got make sure those, that we are tackling both at once. find have got make sure those, that we are tackling both at once.— are tackling both at once. and we were 'ust are tackling both at once. and we were just chatting _ are tackling both at once. and we were just chatting before - are tackling both at once. and we were just chatting before this - were just chatting before this interview and you made an interesting comment about where the

momentum is now, because of course, this process so intensive over the last two weeks with, but it is all about keeping the momentum going, isn't it about keeping the momentum going, isn't ii ., ., ~ about keeping the momentum going, isn't i! ., ., ~ .,, about keeping the momentum going, isn't ii .,, , about keeping the momentum going, isn't ii ., , ., isn't it look, it has been an emotional— isn't it look, it has been an emotional fortnight, - isn't it look, it has been an emotional fortnight, ups i isn't it look, it has been an l emotional fortnight, ups and isn't it look, it has been an - emotional fortnight, ups and downs, emotionalfortnight, ups and downs, gloss, glamour, announcements all over the place, you are trying to figure out whitehall is going on, when all of this goes what will happen in the real world? we have to take a step back, in terms o are we were at paris and where we are now. the positive thing to take from that at paris we were aiming for well below two degrees but that was the figure in range. this 1.5 target is politically very much the target, so i think that is something we can say is a success of this conference, that 1.5 is the political target and a lot after that is down to people pow urges people on the streets calling for it. the scientists are totally clear we can't aim for that two degrees, we have to go for 1.5. is that enough and is it fast

enough? you are saying the political momentum has shifted, but, you know, activists on the ground, they would say that, well they have already said they don't think this cop26 has worked. ., ., ~' ~' said they don't think this cop26 has worked. ., ., ~ ~ , ., worked. look, i think in terms of, we are looking — worked. look, i think in terms of, we are looking at _ worked. look, i think in terms of, we are looking at now, _ worked. look, i think in terms of, we are looking at now, this - worked. look, i think in terms of, we are looking at now, this is - worked. look, i think in terms of, we are looking at now, this is a i we are looking at now, this is a process, we have to get ourselves on that train of action and i think that train of action and i think that action train has left the station, is it going fast enough snuff absolutely not. it is not going fast enough. we need to work on has come out of this, in the months ahead, and i think the uk presidency has a role in terms of making sure these commitments stick. because what has been a real problem at this cop has been we have arrived and we have an implementation gap. not much or not enough has halved before, people are going it is a pledge, a commitment. what does that really mean in terms and are you going to deliver on it? i think think the next year has to be a about delivery and we can come to egypt and saying we can do this and

push further ahead. 50 egypt and saying we can do this and push further ahead.— egypt and saying we can do this and push further ahead. so hard to 'udge in the here and i push further ahead. so hard to 'udge in the here and now i push further ahead. so hard to 'udge in the here and now as i push further ahead. so hard to 'udge in the here and now as to * push further ahead. so hard to 'udge in the here and now as to the h in the here and now as to the success and otherwise, and i should emphasise we have a draft deal, we don't have a deal that has been agreed on, but hard tojudge this in the here and now. {iii agreed on, but hard to 'udge this in the here and now._ the here and now. of course it is hard to say _ the here and now. of course it is hard to say what _ the here and now. of course it is hard to say what has _ the here and now. of course it is hard to say what has happen - the here and now. of course it is| hard to say what has happen add, the here and now. of course it is - hard to say what has happen add, but we can focus on, look, the fossil fuel mention is good, we have never had that before, so that is good. nature in the text is a good thing for sure, you know, we have got some closing of the rules, to make sure we can try and get some of the markets moving, that might help us deliver on this, at the same time, we haven't seen enough on finance, you know, we need to make sure, we know that loss and damage will be a big issue as it should be and we need to make sure those develops countries are stepping the up end in the year ahead to make sure that 1.5 degree target stays alive, and the presidency�*s legacy sticks. there is going to need to be a lot more work, but i am positive that people's are far ahead of of politicians so it is

a case of making sure they can catch up a case of making sure they can catch up with what is going out. on a very practical level, does what has been discussed here make any significant difference to the world of wwf in the short—term? are we talking much longer term? thihk of wwf in the short-term? are we talking much longer term? think of course it does, _ talking much longer term? think of course it does, it _ talking much longer term? think of course it does, it makes _ talking much longer term? think of course it does, it makes a - course it does, it makes a difference to all of us, we saw in terms of the signal out paris six years ago was the world is on a trajectory to two degrees and we have seen more action than ever before from businesses, from government and people, and that is positive. it is still not enough but we are hoping this is a further shift, a further signal to the markets to businesses, to people, that society is going to have to shift and change, we need to have a low carbon transition and a nature restoration in every sector, and we need toe have that as fast as possible. need toe have that as fast as ossible. ~ need toe have that as fast as possible-— need toe have that as fast as ossible. ~ . , ., ~ need toe have that as fast as ossible. ~ . , ., ,, ., need toe have that as fast as ossible. ~ . , ., ~ ., ., possible. we have been talking a lot throu~hout possible. we have been talking a lot throughout the _ possible. we have been talking a lot throughout the couple _ possible. we have been talking a lot throughout the couple of _ possible. we have been talking a lot throughout the couple of weeks - possible. we have been talking a lot i throughout the couple of weeks about the role for private finance, and to what extent does that come into play with projects you are working on? because obviously national governments are not going to be able

to come up with all of the money thatis to come up with all of the money that is required?— that is required? absolutely, in terms of finances _ that is required? absolutely, in terms of finances is _ that is required? absolutely, in terms of finances is going - that is required? absolutely, in terms of finances is going to i that is required? absolutely, inj terms of finances is going to be key, it is government money but it about that private sector financen and at the moment we are financing steel, some of the big things, the things that are causing the problem, which seems crazy in terms of where we are, the science, that is the first thing we need though do is stop financing the bad and shift towards financing the good. the financial sector has a massive role to play, and we were pleased that the uk said they would volley mandatory plans because we know that finance in the uk, some of them have got good plans but it is not across the board and we need to make sure thatis the board and we need to make sure that is the trajectory, in terms of that is the trajectory, in terms of that transition plans, we are good at targets, plans a bit shorter to come by. at targets, plans a bit shorter to come b . , , ., , come by. let us see what this agreement. — come by. let us see what this agreement. if— come by. let us see what this agreement, if it _ come by. let us see what this agreement, if it is _ come by. let us see what this agreement, if it is signed i come by. let us see what this agreement, if it is signed off, j come by. let us see what this i agreement, if it is signed off, has by way of actual plans, and how we get to, to those points, katie, great to talk to you. really good to have you back was, to

give us your assessment of this draft deal, all nine page pes of it. w we are expecting some reaction from the eu pretty soon, we will keep an eye out for that, the timetable constantly shifting here at cop26 and later on we are are going to have delegates back in the conference hall across the river on the scottish events campus, giving their views on this latest draft agreement, as we saw them do yesterday, so we will get a real sense from that about whether we are closes to the deal being signed off by all of them. we will keep you up to date all through the day, right now back to the studio. the humanitarian crisis along the border between belarus and poland continues to escalate, as more migrants head to the border, only to be caught in a political limbo between the two nations. polish police say they found the body of a young syrian man on the polish side of the border overnight. it's estimated that at least eight people have died near the border —

and without proper access to food, water and medical aid, there are fears dozens more could die in the coming weeks. 0ur correspondent steve rosenberg was able to access migrants on the belarus side of the border. by day, the scale of this migrant crisis becomes clear. belarus's border with poland transformed into a camp for those desperate to get to europe. tonight, for the first time, belarusian border guards agreed to take us into the camp, right up to the border. behind the barbed wire, the european union, just metres away. many here are kurds from the middle east. the eu believes that belarus helped them get here, that the country is facilitating

illegal migration into europe — revenge for sanctions. but poland won't let them in. we are like homeless, we don't have any place to stay there. it is about whether it's too cold, we just collect fire and burning trees to make our bodies heat. but still we hope, we never give up. we've been told there are more than 2000 people in this camp, living in pretty basic conditions. this story is a very human drama, but the backdrop, that's geopolitics. the migrant crisis is ratcheting up east—west tension. near the border, paratroopers from belarus and russia held joint exercises, signalling whose side the kremlin's on. increasing, too, is alexander lukashenko's rhetoric. this week he threatened to block the flow of russian gas to europe if the eu imposes more sanctions on belarus. but those who see belarus

as a stepping stone to the eu, they couldn't care less about sanctions or geopolitics. they just want a better future. many of them have paid thousands of dollars for package tours that bring them to belarus and deliver them to the border with europe. but no further. for most, the journey stops here. and so they have to wait, in the cold, while governments argue. waiting and hoping to be let through. one of donald trump's former aides, steve bannon, has been indicted by a federal grand jury. he's charged with two counts of contempt of congress, in connection with his failure to comply with a summons issued by a house select committee, which is investigating the storming of the capitol in january.

0ur north america correspondent peter bowes reports. one of donald trump's closest political allies, steve bannon a conservative firebrand and one—time white house strategist for the former president, has been charged with criminal contempt of congress. he refused to co—operate with the congressional committee investigating this, the violent assault on the us capitol. he faces two charges. one that he failed to provide documents the panel believes are relevant to its enquiry, and a second for not appearing in person for a deposition. both counts carry a maximum sentence of one year in prison. the committee made it clear last month that it would hold mr bannon to account. no—one in this country, no matter how wealthy or how powerful, is above the law. left unaddressed, this defiance may encourage others to follow mr bannon down the same path.

the panel wants to question steve bannon about the events leading up to the riot, including a comment he made the day before that "all hell was going to break loose". based on the committee's investigation it appears that mr bannon had substantial advanced knowledge of the plans forjanuary 6th, and likely had an important role in formulating those plans. steve bannon's refusal to co—operate with the committee cited donald trump's argument that he was shielded by executive privilege. a confidentiality that sometimes applies to documents and conversations at the highest level of us government. but the claim is widely disputed and will be considered by an appeal court later this month, in relation to the former president's attempt to deny the committee access to white house documents. what is clear is that the pressure is now on others who have been

called to give evidence for the investigation. in a statement, the us attorney general merrick garland said the indictment of steve bannon reflected thejustice department's "steadfast commitment" to the rule of law. mr bannon is expected to appear in court on monday but this could turn to a long legal battle. peter bowes, bbc news, los angeles. the legal arrangement which has controlled the personal and financial affairs of the pop star britney spears for the past 13 years has been ended by a judge in los angeles. sophie long reports. this was the moment they'd been dreaming of, everything they've been fighting for. it does not feel real. it feels like i'm kind of in an out—of—body experience but it's just so incredible that we were able to actually help make this happen. after more than 13 years, the pop star was finally

granted herfreedom in a hearing that lasted just 30 minutes. so proud of britney today and for the #freebritney movement, which is going to continue. the singer was not in court but her lawyer repeated her words — "i just want my life back". thejudge gave it to her, and the man who helped her get it was cheered as he paid tribute to his client's strength and courage, and thanked herfans for their fight to free her. you guys are absolutely the best. you're essential. woman: yes! britney loves you. cheering and applause. you were essential in terms of the suspension ofjames p spears... cheering and applause. and you were also essential in regards to what happened today. cheering and applause. both sing: #i want to scream and shout. # free britney now. britney has been released

from the restrictions imposed when she was a new mother struggling with her mental health, immediately and without any further evaluation, but this isjust the beginning of the end. her lawyer has called for an investigation into her father's handling of her $60 million estate and allegations he bugged her bedroom. the star said on social media, she loves herfans so much it's crazy and that it was the best day ever. as for what's next for britney, well, that now it is up to just one person — britney. sophie long, bbc news, los angeles. much of europe is facing a surge in coronavirus cases — and measures are being reimposed across the continent. the netherlands will begin a three—week partial lockdown on saturday night — non—essential shops, cafes, bars and nightclubs will have to close early, there'll be no crowds at football matches, and social distancing will be enforced. courtney bembridge reports.

all chant: vrijdom! vrijheid! fury on the streets of the hague after the announcement that restrictions are back for at least three weeks. protesters threw fireworks and smoke bombs and were met with water cannons. 0thers spent the night soaking up the nightlife while they could. cases have been steadily rising over the past two months and hospitals are once again under pressure — that's despite the country's relatively high vaccination rate. authorities say more than two thirds of the patients in intensive care are unvaccinated, but the waning effectiveness of vaccines over time is also playing a part, particularly in the elderly population. the dutch government plans to start booster jabs next month. in the meantime, prime minister mark rutte says urgent action is needed.

translation: this is a hard blow of a few weeks because the virus is everywhere throughout the country, in all sectors and in all ages. the measures will be western europe's first partial lockdown this winter, but other countries may soon follow suit. germany is considering restrictions and austria plans to lock down the unvaccinated, with spot checks and hefty fines for those caught flouting the rules. translation: i would very much support nationwide regulations. l itjust has to be clear what is meant by a lockdown for the unvaccinated. in my opinion, there are still a number of open questions that need to be clarified, because we must not unsettle the public by making different claims. around a third of austrians have yet to have their first dose and the country has one of the lowest vaccination rates in the eu. the world health organization has warned that europe is heading towards another 500,000 deaths by february,

and it says vaccinations alone won't be enough to bring the outbreak under control. courtney bembridge, bbc news. you're watching bbc news. now it's time for a look at the weather with matt taylor. hello, after those blustery conditions yesterday things looking be much quieter today today and this weekend. it is going to be pretty mild for the stage in november but still a lot of cloud around at times, the best of those breaks through this afternoon across the central swathe as i'll show you. it's because we are between two weather systems. this area of low pressure which brought the windy weather yesterday and this is the one which will bring weather fronts to the north and west, particularly through tomorrow. advancing cloud into northern ireland to today so this afternoon turning grey and patchy when it drizzle from the west, particularly late afternoon into the evening. still got cloud from yesterday's low pressure system and eastern counties of england,

so staying rather grey here, some occasional rain or drizzle, but in between, and that means the vast majority of the country, will see some of that cloud break up and some sunny spells through the afternoon. temperatures between 11 and 15 degrees. to put that into context, about two to four degrees above where we normally are at this stage in november. here are some of the averages we expect this time of year, ten to 12 celsius. and it also means we still got a fairly mild night with us. a lot cooler tonight, particularly in this central strip with the clear skies to begin with. closing in, though, through the night as cloud advances from east and west. some mist and fog patches and temperatures and single figures in that zone but thickening cloud up towards western scotland, northern ireland and the irish sea coast. it's going to make for a rather grey, misty and for some, drizzly morning. heavier bursts of rain through the day in towards the western isles on sunday. still a few showers in east anglia, and the south—east, most of you dry and it's across east wales, good parts of england and around the moray firth will see the best of your sunday sunshine. temperatures like today, around ten to 15 degrees. then, as we go into sunday night and monday, after outbreaks of rain across scotland and northern ireland

the weather front is on the move only very slowly south and east. there's not much wind around again on monday. it does mean brighter conditions gradually developing across scotland and northern ireland. more sunshine than we will see this weekend but it will be a rather grey day for parts of northern and england and wales, some rain and drizzle, mist and fog over hills and further south and east still the chance of further cloud breaks and a bit of sunshine. temperatures down a degree or two on this weekend overall mild. and that mild story continues into next week. a bit of a battle, high pressure to the south, low pressure to the north. the closer you are to that low pressure system, the windier things will be at times, the wetter as well. you can see in 0ban, western scotland will see rain throughout this week. some rain into northern ireland although many places will be largely dry, especially in the south.

hello this is bbc news. the headlines... negotiators at the cop26 climate conference have published a draft agreement after talks in glasgow continued through the night. countries are urged to phase out coal and inefficient
